Regardless of the type of diabetes, patients with diabetes are 25 times more likely to develop vision problems or even blindness than non-diabetics. Diabetic Retinopathy is the most common cause of new cases of blindness in adults. The aim of this paper is to present a pilot online tool to provide information regarding the Diabetic Retinopathy. The tool was developed using a Content Management System. To compile the content of the website, a literature review was conducted. The online information tool is addressed to all potential stakeholders on this subject, for the provision of knowledge and targeted information according to their information needs. The online tool also aims to raise the public awareness about the Diabetic Retinopathy and health promotion.
